We enlisted the help of  TX Cleaver, Big Ron and Jake Langerkamp, who have been fans with the team since it’s inception in 2002. We asked all three to join us in a mock draft using, as players to draft from, only the Houston Texans’ players who have ever suited up for the team since 2002. All three were intrigued by the idea and immediately accepted the offer.  Of course, we only used four…

Contract Talk: Jason Allen

In this series we are going to look at the potential free agents of the Houston Texans, and figure out if they work into the plans for the coming years….     On November 10, 2010 the Miami Dolphins released cornerback Jason Allen in favor of veteran cornerback Al Harris who was coming of a knee injury. Allen the 16th overall selection in 2006, drafted by Nick Saban, was one of the last Dolphins from the Saban regime. Houston at the time was looking for answers to help a floundering secondary in 2010 and picked him up off waivers.

The Most Frustrating Texans in 2011

The Houston Texans are at the crossroads of their season and the dubious most important game tag is coming out for this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. There is no doubt that the Texans have some solid talent on their roster, but consistency is the key to be successful in the NFL, which the Texans lack.   The Texans collectively as a whole need to step their game up, but if a handful of Texans decide to step their game up it would make fans breathe easier.
